According to my Books page, I read 43 books last year, three less than the year before year. A list of 5 star books (weight by my enjoyment, pretty vague) using the lovely display posts plugin.
At the end of 2022 I saw a note somewhere about someone who wrote down the first bird they saw every day. I decided to note one natural thing I saw everyday. Baring a few days here and there I managed it.

As has become custom I’ve made a video of my years flickr photos. I edited the script a little to use larger images & added a different sound track.
Read Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver ★★★★★ 📚
David Copperfield about the opioid problem in Appalachia. I was sucked in by Demon’s voice. Glad I knew a happy ending for at least some characters was expected. I”ll wait a bit but rereading Dickens is on my list for 2024.
Read: The Underground Man by Ross Macdonald ★★★★☆ 📚
Two deer–a doe and a fawn–came down the slope in a dry creek channel, heading for the grove. They saw me and rocking-horsed over a fallen log into the trees.
Read: What time is love by Holly Williams ★★★☆☆ 📚
Quite an interesting time travel remix, I did want to find out what happened to the first couple. The second incarnation less compelling.
Good Advice
